Chapter 0021: The Lord's Girl
"There's a horse in front of the blacksmith's shop, and I've never seen it."
Poof!
The battering stick fell into the river.
The quick-eyed housewife catches the falling frog saliva, and this animal liquid in a holster cleans clothes.
"Oh, Jane......"
However, before she could open her mouth to reproach, the girl who was sensible and well-behaved in the past had already put down the whole pot of clothes, lifted her skirt and ran away.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm sorry, Lady Gwen, I'll be back to get the clothes."
By the river, the housewife with a white scarf shook her head and sighed, laughing and scolding.
"You know you can't play this kind of joke with her."
The woman who broke the news just now covered her mouth and laughed with tears, propped up her waist, and looked at the girl who crossed the ridge from afar, her shoes fell into the waterway, but she was still happy like a doll waiting for candy.
"Tsk, what a good boy."
"Then you shouldn't have teased her."
Mrs. Gwen was a little annoyed, but the other man pulled Jane's wooden basin and began to soak it, and shook a few pieces of clothing without raising her head.
"Hey, let's wash her up, this girl won't come back."
Despite the obvious wrinkles, she raised her head and made a playful expression mysteriously.
"I didn't joke with her this time."
……
"I don't like jokes."
【Blacksmith Shop LV2】
【Dedicated Blacksmith】
[Attitude: Friendly]
"I don't like it either,"
Adam's tone was firm, he patted the rail, and the whole row of farm tools clanged like wind chimes.
"I've got all the finished products you have here, and I even want to hire you to do the work for me. I'm going to set up a blacksmith's shop, but few people want to stay by the fireside and hammer it. ”
The coarse sack was thrown up, and the bundled vines were swayed, like a hungry thin man falling on the table, vomiting out a silver python with white flowers.
"You can count some money less, and the iron buckle will be given to you. Whether to get out of here or not, I'm going to think about it."
The big man sat upright, his muscles were knotted, and he was very imposing, plus he didn't wear a shirt, so he looked even more powerful, oh, maybe he didn't have this size.
"The busiest season for farming is almost over, how many plows can be broken in Mathew Village? You come with me, and you won't be able to control Arnold's forging labor. ”
Adam walked through the room, picking and inspecting like a rich merchant walking into a street shop, waving from time to time.
I have to say, the craftsmanship is really good.
He was sure to convince the other party, because there was so little food in the room except tools and beds, and there was not even a cabinet for bread, so it was placed in the corner to collect ashes.
"Adam, you, do you have iron ore?"
Dahan has made riding boots, and when he measured his foot size, he had already written down the other party's name.
He was gesturing awkwardly.
Although his expression is fierce, his eyes are attentive and his language is stumbling, which is obviously very tempting.
"What?"
"Silver ingots, copper nuggets, or that kind of ore that has been mined. The lord's allocation, what I can buy, is all done. ”
He said it very sincerely, and Adam understood why when he came, this guy was holding a hammer in a daze, instead of sweating like rain.
The blacksmith thought that the other party was hesitating, and he emphasized again.
"I can't do anything without materials."
Adam quickly cleared his mind and made a promise.
"I'll fix it."
He stood like a fine sword forged from steel, his eyes sharp, and his tone chiseled.
"I am a fledgling lord, without servitude, and I have everything I need in the materials I can provide. The blacksmith has an investment of ten golden crows a year, do you have any other requirements, about your remuneration or something! ”
Dahan was very excited, he heard that he could forge many things, and the golden crow was very valuable, and could build a furnace with more firepower.
What's more, yes, you can still ask for it!
The blacksmith wanted to stand up, but subconsciously picked up the hammer, and he let go in a panic, not wanting the boss to misunderstand, after all, he often scared people away.
He tried to put on a kind smile, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing his finger-wide front teeth, and spread out his slap.
"Give me five silver pythons a week to buy materials, and five pieces of meat. Not...... If it's too much, a piece of meat is fine, and the silver python can be countered with materials. ”
"Deal."
Adam gripped the other man's fingers, smiled gently, and let go of the hilt of his sword with the hand behind his back—he had thought he was going to resist the hammer blow.
[You recruit your first follower, but if you fail to fulfill your promise for a long time, they may leave.] 】
Adam left the shop, and the sack containing the silver python was handed over to the blacksmith to pack up.
"You have to buy a wagon to get the tools back, what else? Cloth, spice ......"
He untied the noose, and subconsciously began to look for the direction of the tavern, and asked old Jamie about it, and discussed the matter of taking Jane by the way.
Well?
The vigilance cultivated in the mountains and wilderness made him notice that a blue dot was rapidly approaching, and before he could adjust his attention to investigate the note, the other party had already come nearby.
"Mr. Adam!"
The girl climbed over the fence, the hem of her skirt hooked on the tip of the wood, and it was simply ripped off, and there was a thud!
Adam let go of the steel sword, the second misjudgment of the day.
"Jane?"
The girl smiled brightly, nodded frequently in her breath, her shoes were missing, and her feet, calves, and even her arms and face were stained with rich colors
"Mr. Adam, are you here to pick me up?"
"Someone is fighting with you? The tavern owner didn't take good care of you. ”
Adam picked off the straw in the girl's hair, and the last time he visited late at night, he naturally understood that Jane was well taken care of.
I just want to calm the girl.
Jane shook her head, her smile was as soothing as the morning breeze, and there were even dandelions that were thrown out, and she didn't know where to rub them.
Adam sighed, leather gloves holding up her arms.
Jane felt that the other party's well-proportioned palm was placed under her armpit, and the muscles of the shoulder and arm were full, and when she lifted it up, she flew off the ground.
In her panic, she grabbed the saddle handle and sat firmly on the horse's back.
"Do you know where shoes are sold in the village?"
Adam holds the rope.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the dirt road, and the villagers who passed by looked sideways, and the housewives poked their heads out of the windows, and when they saw the barefoot girl sitting on horseback, they all smiled and waved.
"Mrs. Gwenyn is very good at crafting, and Mrs. Lonnie is the most beautiful, and they can even make you a nice undershirt, but you need silk and satin, and you can't buy it in the village......"
Jane dangled her feet and narrated, like a homeless girl telling a story on a thunderstorm night.
"Ah, Mr. Adam, are you here to pick me up?"
She asked again.
"Yes, there are already hundreds of households in the stronghold, and I have settled down tentatively."
Jane applauded happily, but immediately pursed her lips, and looked at Adam with sadness in her eyes.
She didn't want to go to the big town, but this was her own wish, and Mr. Adam must have prepared for it, and she couldn't trouble the other party so willfully.
"Jane,"
Adam turned around and removed the gravel stuck in the sole of the girl's foot.
The leather gloves tickled her, and she shrunk up, her face full of worries about the future.
"I want to hire you as a lord, just out, ten thousand copper wolves!"
"Really?"
Jane almost jumped up, but only then did she realize that she was not on the ground, and the war horse hated the restless rider, so she directly swayed her hip tail and shook her away.
"Ahh
"Hey......"
Adam naturally spread his arms, and the undernourished homeless girl had a lithe body, as if she were catching a rabbit that was only a little bigger.
"You haven't asked if it's paid annually or monthly!"
"It's all right!"
Jane hurriedly climbed down in a panic, and the successive gaffes made her feel very guilty, she didn't have the value of bothering the other party, and it was easy for Adam to leave her behind after repeated tossing.
She lifted the torn skirt, moved her slender feet back lightly, and bowed low.
"I do, honorable lord."
